Larry Elder: The 'xenophobe quiz'--Who said this about immigration?

Which alleged “racist xenophobe” made these statements about illegal immigration?“Those who enter the country illegally and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law, and they are showing disregard for those who are following the law. We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented (and) unchecked, and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently and lawfully to become immigrants in this country.”

A) Adolf HitlerB) Donald TrumpC) Barack ObamaAnswer: Then-Sen. Obama, news conference, 2005“Our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens.”A) Josef StalinB) Donald TrumpC) Bill ClintonAnswer: President Clinton, State of the Union address, 1995“If making it easy to be an illegal alien isn’t enough, how about offering an award to be an illegal immigrant. No sane country would do that, right? Guess again.”A) Jack the RipperB) Donald TrumpC) Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev.Answer: Reid, Senate floor, 1993“In approaching immigration reform, I believe we must enact tough, practical reforms that ensure and promote the legal and orderly entry of immigrants into our country.”A) Idi AminB) Donald TrumpC) Barack ObamaAnswer: Sen.

Obama, 2005“All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public services they use impose burdens on our taxpayers.”A) Michael MyersB) Donald TrumpC) Bill ClintonAnswer: President Clinton, State of the Union address, 1995“We will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes, to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace.”A) Jeffrey DahmerB) Donald TrumpC) Bill ClintonAnswer: President Clinton, State of the Union address, 1995“I continue to believe that we need stronger enforcement on the border and at the workplace.

Obama, Senate floor, 2007“If you break our laws by entering this country without permission and give birth to a child, we reward that child with U.S. citizenship and guarantee full access to all public and social services this society provides – and that’s a lot of services. Is it any wonder that two-thirds of babies born at taxpayer expense (in) county-run hospitals in Los Angeles are born to illegal alien mothers?”A) Kim KardashianB) Donald TrumpC) Harry ReidAnswer: Sen. Reid, Senate floor, 1993“We need to start by giving agencies charged with border security new technology, new facilities and more people to stop, process and deport illegal immigrants.”A) RasputinB) Donald TrumpC) Barack ObamaAnswer: Sen.

Obama, 2005“We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws.

Que pasó?
